Noir

Мокрые от дождя улицы и неоновые вывески отбрасывают тени на мир, где мораль размыта, а у каждого свой расчёт. Закалённые детективы, продажные чиновники и отчаявшиеся души блуждают по городским лабиринтам, где за справедливость приходится платить, а искупление всегда остаётся недосягаемым.

Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
